Chapter 1718: Battle for Route 1 (22)

Napoleon's right fist was entangled by the golden lightning and became like it was made of gold, flashing a heart-pounding light.

He faced Garp's shockwave and punched out without flinching.

This punch, with all of Napoleon's strength and the blessing of his domineering aura, was like a golden cannonball, crashing straight into Garp's shock wave.

The two shock waves suddenly collided in mid-air, making a loud bang that shook the earth.

The noise was as loud as thunder, deafening, as if the whole world was shaking at this moment.

The people in the distance felt as if their eardrums were hit hard by a heavy hammer. The pain was unbearable and they covered their ears involuntarily.

Two powerful shock waves collided violently in the air like two meteors, instantly bursting out with dazzling light and huge energy.

This energy spread rapidly like ripples, forming a strong aftermath that enveloped the entire New Beehive Island and even reached the open sea.

Wherever the aftermath of this shock wave touched, astonishing scenes occurred.

Dust rose into the air like a volcanic eruption, reaching tens of meters high, as if the entire New Beehive Island had exploded from the center and continued to expand outwards.

The surrounding sea seemed to be enraged, with turbulent waves and huge waves tens of meters high, like a ferocious beast roaring.

In this thrilling scene, Napoleon and Cap, who were at the center of the shock wave, stood out.

Karp stood in the sky, gritting his teeth. The howling wind blew across his face, making his feature look extremely hideous.

The clothes on his right arm had been torn apart by the shock wave, revealing his thick and powerful right arm with clear muscle lines and full of strength.

Despite facing such a powerful shock wave, Garp did not retreat. He gritted his teeth, stood firmly in the air with his feet, and refused to move back even a step.

His eyes were firm and resolute, as if he was fighting a desperate battle with the shock wave.

At this time, Napoleon was on the ground and his body was under tremendous pressure.

The powerful impact caused his muscles to be extremely compressed, and the clothes on his upper body were torn into pieces in an instant, revealing his strong body.

His left arm began to tremble involuntarily, as if it could no longer withstand the impact of Garp's domineering aura.

Not only that, Napoleon's cheeks were trembling slightly, showing that he was in great pain.

His eyes were wide open, as if their eyeballs were about to pop out of their sockets. The muscles on his face were twisted with extreme anger, making him look extremely hideous and terrifying.

All he could hear was a roar: "Ah!"

The roar exploded in the air like thunder, causing pain in people's eardrums.

At the same time, all of Napoleon's strength burst out at this moment, forming an extremely powerful impact force that seemed to tear the entire world apart.

However, in the next second, Napoleon's body suddenly relaxed, like a deflated ball.

He let out a long breath, as if all the strength in his body had been drained away at this moment.

Napoleon involuntarily took half a step back, his body swaying slightly, as if he might fall to the ground at any time.

And at the moment he retreated, the golden domineering aura in the sky that was originally counteracting Garp's red domineering aura shock wave suddenly seemed to have lost its support and quickly dissipated.

Garp's domineering shockwave was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, galloping towards the New Beehive Island with the force of thunder.

In the blink of an eye, the shock wave hit Napoleon and the New Beehive Island hard.

There was a loud earth-shaking noise, and the entire New Beehive Island began to shake violently.

Napoleon's body trembled violently as if hit by a 10,000-ton hammer.

He felt as if his body was about to be torn apart by the shock wave, and all the bones in his body were making crackling sounds.

The power of this shock wave was so great that not only that, its powerful force quickly spread and reached the island under Napoleon's feet.

The entire island seemed to have been turned over by a huge plow, with dust flying everywhere, covering the sky and the sun.

The edge of the island close to the sea could not bear the weight and collapsed quickly under the impact of the shock wave. In the blink of an eye, the New Honeycomb Island seemed to have been cut off in a circle, becoming much thinner than before.

After Napoleon could no longer hold on, Garp's body fell heavily to the ground like a kite with a broken string, accompanied by the powerful shock wave.

There was a loud "bang" and the ground seemed to tremble, stirring up a cloud of dust.

Garp's eyes were suddenly covered by the dust, his vision was completely blocked and he could not see anything.

Garp's observation Haki seemed to penetrate the thick dust and locked onto Napoleon firmly.

He folded his arms across his chest, stood there motionless, and did not attack immediately.

Although he was filled with murderous intent towards Napoleon and wished to kill him immediately to avenge the losses and humiliations the navy had suffered at the hands of the Rockefeller Kingdom over the years.

However, Karp's reason told him that doing so was definitely not a wise choice.

If he really killed Napoleon, what would await the navy would definitely not be the pleasure of revenge, but a new and more brutal war.

This will be a life-and-death war with no room for compromise or concession.

Although the navy is not afraid of war or death, they never want to make unnecessary sacrifices.

After all, the current strength of the navy is far from enough to compete with the Rockefeller Kingdom.

If the Navy were to fall out with the Rockefeller Kingdom now, destruction would be the inevitable fate that awaits it.

The Navy was not fully prepared for an all-out war with the Rockefeller Empire.

Therefore, Kapp could not kill Napoleon, and he could only choose to expel him from the country to calm the turmoil.

At this moment, the dust still covered the sky, like a thick curtain, completely blocking everyone's vision.

Time passes by quietly like a white horse passing by.

On this dust-covered land, Katakuri, Blackbeard, Jin and Shiryu slowly and laboriously crawled out of the dust.

They were originally far away from the center of the fierce fighting, but even so, they were not spared and were buried in the ground by the powerful aftermath.
